Multiple select in Outlook (SMS/MMS) using drag

Is it possible to select multiple messages on Touch HD using drag in Outlook (SMS/MMS) ? My frind who is having Touch Pro can select multipe messages using drag, and I can't. We've noticed that we have different menus - he doesn't have Menu -> Select Messages, so I suppose that this is introduced on Touch HD because 'drag mutiple select' is disabled ... Or there is an option where could I enable this feature ? I also had this posibiliy on Himalaya as far as I can remember ...
Tnx!

I would like to know this as well as deleting multiple messages can be very time consuming without this feature.

used to be possible on my Touch Pro but now it isnt available on the HD. Not sure why.

Menu--> Select Messages --> Several

OK, but why did they disable drag ? I think it's much more simple dragging than tapping ...

I would assume that its because that would be the same gesture you would use to scroll the screen down.

Not quite the same, because on Touch Pro it's possible to select and to scroll and it's quite easy (with a little practice) to distinguate these gestures. But maybe some people had problems with that so that's why they disabled it ... But they could leave an option to enable it ...

Hi,
I am also having same problem. I cannot multi select files, massages, contacts or etc using drag.....
Can anyone plz help......
Thanks in advance.

it is because of newer build 207XX. touch pro had build 199XX. microsoft have disabled the ability to use multi select in newer builds. however you can recover most of the multi-select feature by making a following reg key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch]
"Disabled"=dword:1
after making this key, multi-select with finger/stylus will work everywhere except the inbox.

Thanking You
Happy New Year 2009.......

I once solved the problem in POutlook by pulling a copy of poutlook from an older kitchen and putting it into a new kitchen. Now the ROMs I'm using don't have kitchens so I can't seem to figure out how to fix it since I cannot copy poutlook.exe from the older ROM (get access denied message).
This was on a Titan but figured since you guys are having the same complaints maybe you could help me figure out how to copy poutlook.exe out of \Windows\...
Edit: it may have actually been tmail.exe... it was a few months ago now so I don't entirely remember.

Did anyone try to disable outlook enhancements? you can try to disable it by going to HKLM\Services\Enhancements\OutlookEnhancements and changing the string to add an extra symbol (like ") so that it disable it and soft reset to see if it changes the options.

I realize that. The previous poster suggested modifying an existing key. I created the key but it didn't do anything. Also wasn't sure if it should be a DWORD or what though.

no luck...
hence this key apparently doesnt affect... anymroe ideas?

anyone??? i tried 0 and 1 both !

does anyone has a solution? please kindly posT?

HowTo - Customize Hardware buttons

Greetings,
Here is a way from me, to make it possible, to customize your hardware buttons.
Step one:
Start the attached FDC Taskmanager, then tap <Menu>, <Options>, set enabled on "Create RegEdit Shortcut".
Now you can open the Regedit - Shortcut in Startmenu ( <Programs> - <System> ) and .reg - files will be associated with FDC-TM.
Now doubletap on the attached .reg - file, select importing.
Ready!
Restart the device!
Feature lost: Navipanel not start automatically, when you put the phone in carkit. Copy the Navipanel.lnk in Startmenu or lay it of the navigation-button.
Step two:
1. klick "Start"
2. klick "Settings"
3. klick "Hardware-Buttons"
4. customize
Greetz Mirko
edit: when is it not easy enough, give me your adress and I will come to you and do it for you!

Thanx for the effort and for sharing Mirko!
I will definitely try it

bravo super boulot

Still starting
Hi!
I have succesfully created the two buttons in the control panel of the PDA and assigned them to right and left program key. And the work!
My problem is that the Tomtom and Footprint also start, which is a feature I would like to remove. I would much rather have them start the old fashion way, as this is a phone as a primary device.
Can anyone direct me to a solution. I would like to keep the programs installed but can as a last resort remove them if it helps (and if I can).

This problem occurs when you do not set the "NaviService" service to Manual and stop it. See the first post in this thread from Mirko, he explains it.

@ Snwstrm
U must read my post, stands:
"Now go with the FDC Taskmanager to "Services", stop "NaviService(NPS0)", long klick it, then change to "set manual". When you not do this, you have a double assignment on buttons."
Greetz Mirko
edit: Argh! Not seen, Evincar was almost answering, sorry!

No such service
Hi!
Thanks for a quick reply. I don't have FDC but Pocket Controller Pro as a task handling program and I cannot see any service that resembles the one U are talking about. My guess is that it differs depending on localization, but I will try to get a hold of FDC program to verify.
I tried to get help from HTC, but they couldn't help me. I guess they have some deal w TomTom and don't want to make it easy to switch or eradicate their program. They wrote to me about PocketToolman but it did nothing new, just a nifty way to access controlpanel.
Keep on looking,
Snwstrm

What about Google? FDC TM is freeware.
Greetz Mirko!

Victory!
You are absolutely right! I will have to contact SOTI regarding their software. FDC worked wonders and now I see no trace of TomTom or Footprint. Just the way I wanted.
Thanks!
Snwstrm

Nice, can help!

Thanks for this. I switched from Vox and I was quite angry, when I had to tap to top right to confirm something. Now footprint does this.

1 "Copy the Navipanel.lnk in Startmenu or lay it of navigation-button." I don't where is the start menu in Registry and how to do it.
2 stop "NaviService(NPS0)", long klick it, then change to "set manual" that means
go to HKLM\service\NaviService and change value form default to 0???? and I don't understand about how to set manual could you explain me more.

Remapping Inner Circle and Messenger key?

Are there any tools or registry hacks available to remap the Inner Circle and Messenger keys?
I can think of more usefull programs to map to a dedicated hardware key instead of these...
TIA

Do you actually need to use the Inner Circle and WLM functions on your device?
I ask because the only way so far which I have found to remap those key buttons is to create Mortscript .exe files called InnerCircle.exe and WLMMessenger.exe, each pointing to respective InnerCircle.mscr and WLMMessenger.mscr scripts which run the programs you want. You would then drop these into your \Windows folder, overwriting the original InnerCircle.exe and WLMMessenger.exe files (having first removed the Read-only / System etc. properties from the original files using Total Commander or Resco Explorer). Clearly this will then render the Inner Circle and WLM functions inoperative on your device - not too much of a problem for me as I have no need for either. If you want to regain their functionality you simply need to delete the two .exe files you created and the originals will regenerate from ROM. Note that I found I needed to use Mortscript to get this to work. Simply copying a renamed .exe file of the actual program you want to assign to the button did not work.
I know it sounds ridiculous but none of the "regular" methods for changing hardware key assignments seem to work - I even tried editing the keymap. There is a "Short_Circle" lnk file in \Windows - changing the target of this seems to make no difference. The various registry entries which I have used successfully in previous devices made no difference. It's as if there is some sort of ROM-level hardware association between the Inner Circle key and the InnerCircle.exe file (same deal with WLM).
If anybody can come up with a more elegant solution to this it would be welcomed - I'm a reasonably adept WM user but I'm pretty sure somebody more knowledgeable can do better. If you don't have a Snap then please be a little cautious about being gung-ho with suggestions (!) - I know this is fairly well-trodden territory on xda-developers but the setup with the Snap seems like it might be a bit different. Cheers
P.S. Don't be tempted to delete or disable the Windows Live key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services - this will prevent the Windows Live service from loading, which might be good in various ways, but it's needed for the Windows Live key to work (even if the WLMMessenger.exe which is being executed is running something else).

Thanks for the extensive reply. I've been using my Snap for a few weeks now and still don't understand what the marketing-fuzz of InnerCircle is all about.
The InnerCircle app I don't need, at all. It does nothing that can't be done with a server-side rule. So no issue that it is completely disabled in the OS. Messenger is a nice to have for occasional use, but a dedicated button is just a wasted button IMHO.
I'll check out your suggested solution.

A link to the task manager instead of the inner circle prog would be cool.

Open Windows and change the key by renaming it to the program you want.

You can do that using the procedure outlined in post #2 above. This is exactly how I have mine set up

Can you explain how you did this? I tried the following techniques (which have worked with previous WM phones) and none of them worked:
1. Changing the target of Inner Circle.lnk
2. Changing the target of Short_Circle.lnk
3. Fiddling with the keymap file (although I'm not sure I exhausted this fully).
4. The situation with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys doesn't seem to be the same with this device as with my previous WM devices.
It's almost as if there is a direct rom-level association between the button and the InnerCircle.exe file - perhaps this is not the case with some of the other Snap ROMs. The only way I was able to "remap" the button was using the Mortscript method I explained in post #2 of this thread. I recognise this is an inelegant solution and would welcome a better method (although it doesn't really cause me a problem as I don't need Inner Circle or Windows Live Messenger - in fact I'd rather they weren't even on the phone, I'm sure they will be removed when we start seeing cooked ROMs).

Im kind of a noob to WM.. so is it possible to explain it slightly more detail what needs to be done.. such as creating a mortscript exe.. i just want to remap the inner circle key to the task manager btw

Hi, I am a newbie to WM. Would like to find out whether there has been any other ways of doing this remapping? Thanks in advance!

hallo i'm using omnia pro and having the same problem here, need some expert advice.
I already tried the AE Button plus but it's seem to not recognized the button I want to re map (PIE and WLMessenger button)

i got the same problem with my htc snap. anybody knows how to change the wlm and innercircle keys?

maybe some of the rom cooking experts can write a rom or cook into next rom?

Custom ROM already has it, in parts
Guys.
ookba has done some button customization on his roms.
Long-press power button will bring the Quick List menu.
You can change though settings:
- Press Inner Circle: default is CeleTask.
- Long-press Home: default is Quick List
Check the ROM here:

I'm waiting for a version where we can change the Messenger and Mail/SMS key also.
[]'s
Cris

For some reason I cannot set (remove) the flags "Read Only" and "system" from InnerCircle.exe....Either with Resco Expolrer and Total commander, both applications seem to properly change the property flags, but when I check again the file properties, the "read only" and "system" are back.
So I am stuck with remapping the Inner circle button.
If anyone has some advise, that would be great.
Tnks

Bump! (I know it's an old thread). Anyone find a way to remap the messenger key??

It seems to me the messenger key somehow is hardwired to launch \Windows\Start Menu\Messenger.lnk. Let Messenger.lnk point to your favorite application and it gets started by the messenger key. This solution is not that elegant since it clutters the start menu, but at least for me it works.
Have fun,
Erik

Hi,
how exactly did you update Messenger.lnk? What did you wrote as a path? Some special characters?
EDIT: solved, I forgot to put double quote. Now it works also for me.

S2U2 - EndCall button

Guys,
Just used "Search" button, but didn`t find any clue.
I am a proud user of S2U2, and it`s a great software (freeware).
There`s a great option in it - "turn of software buttons", so you can have a clean screen and only clock on it. Unlocking by pressing the Right D-Pad.
Since our device has no D-Pad, I was wondering, if it is possible to assign, i.e. EndCall button long-press for unlocking.
Those button changing apps, didn`t help. Any clue?
Thanks in advance.

Cmon, Guys! Maybe it is possible to do with the prog TopazKbdControl_GSM_1.3.2? Some argument for the iLock.exe file?

I think this might be the wrong thread for this questions.
You sure will get a quick answer if you post a reply in A_C's S2U2 thread here!
Maybe you just missed a setting or trick...

Already reposted there a couple of days ago, but no answers. All I wanna do is make the option of "hide all softkeys" in S2U2 available on our device. Did not find anything in the S2U2 settings...

The option you are looking for is in S2U2 Settings -> Appearance
Maybe S2U2 Settings -> Advanced -> "Don't use keyboard hook" or S2U2 Settings -> Others -> "Directional PAD" is worth a try...
If I understand you right, you should search for gfx that is transparent. You could set them as buttons or slider, can't be seen, but is still functional?

No its actually pretty easy. Performing a Long press on the End key launches "Endkey.exe" from the Windows folder.
I did this for setting up Comm Manager to the the End key.
I just don't know if you can do it if S2U2 installs to another folder outside of windows. You can try making a copy of S2U2's exe file, renaming it to "EndKey.exe" and copying it to the Windows folder.
Some apps will run from any folder.
I've also seem people make a little program that would run, launch another program, then close. I think Opera does that in Manila (OperaL.exe).
You can also try creating a shortcut... and changing the extension from ".lnk" to ".exe". Extensions are really useless, mostly for humans to keep files organized. Might not work on WM but worth a shot.

yeah, that`s true. Thank you! But what special argument should I add to the *.exe, or *.lnk file to perform "unlock"?

HD2 US: Need help on how to disable vibration in text input

I need help in disabling vibration when using the keyboard. I've tried to look for it in the forums and in the device settings but did not find anything. There is no personalization in the Settings tab.

I know the setting is in there somewhere. A search for "vibrate typing" turned up amongst others:

Im running a generic HTC ROM on my T9193 model; go to the Settings tab (in Sense), then Personalize, then Vibration

Using Resco Registry go to
Hkey Local Machine > Software > HTC > ezsip
Add a new DWORD Value string and call it "VibrationEnabled" (without the quotes) and give it a value of 0.
Soft reset and BAM!
But this is with Resco Registry, with another reg edit program, i am not sure what kind of string you are adding, hopefully it is still called DWORD.

This is really useful, especially because it turns off only keyboard vibration. Thank you very much!

If anyone is still having issues with this problem there is an easier way without messing around with the registry. From any screen hit the Windows button to the right of the home button on the phone itself, not the touchscreen. Then find the "settings" icon and tap that. Next you will see a "personalize" tab and tap it, at the very bottom of those options you will see a "vibration" tab, tap that and you will be taken to a screen that allows you to change the settings for the keyboard, simply uncheck the box, tap done and your all set

I'm using the NRG ROM, and those instructions don't make any sense to me. Also, be aware that the stock TMOUS ROM (as I recall, I didn't use it long), does not give access to the standard "Settings" icon except via the Sense tab.

You are correct, on a stock ROM if I remember right you have to go to Settings>Menu>All Settings>Personal>Imput I think it has been a little while since I used any Windows Mobile ROMs now.

Registry hack worked for me.
Would be interesting to determine impact on battery life.

TMOUS-Sense Vibration Settings
This is an old thread but there was a recent reply. For the T-Mobile HD2 with a stock ROM amd/or the Sense overlay, go to the Settings tab, select Personalize, select Vibration and then uncheck the box. However, this did not turn off vibration for the Swype keyboard.
If you have another ROM, then these settings may not be available via this method. BSB Tweaks has settings to turn off/on vibration for HTC apps and calculator vibration. Of course, the registry editing will work. I have found the Resco registry editor to be easy and useful.
